Does anyone know equipment locations in the gallery deck catwalks of Bogue class CVE's? Equipment such as aircraft fuel stations, fire hoses, life rings, ect... . I know that there were 2 fire plugs on the flight deck and 14 on the gallery deck but I don't know where.

Looking for hangar pictures of any Casablanca Class CVE, or just the area below and around the stern aircraft elevator.I am building Hasegawa's Gambier Bay and would like to portray her with that showjng.Thanks.

Thanks for sharing these. I'd like to know what those two box like structures under the fwd flight deck are.

she had bridge wings for the pilot house near the forward end of the flight deck on each side. The rest of her superstructure was amid ships with the flight deck built over it.

Martin, Great pic you posted. Not sure if you have it inany higher resolution but would love to know what side code on the F2A-3 is. I believe that the date is probably Oct 1941 as Long Island was pretty much an aircraft transport by Oct 1942 and her air group ashore.

The Navsource photos of LONG ISLAND (http://www.navsource.org/archives/03/001.htm) include a couple showing a USMC F2A-3 aircraft of VMF211 coded MF-5 after a landing accident, as well as several showing SOC-3A aircraft of VS-201.
